For the Bread
  • 1/2 cup Butter Adds richness and moisture; substitute with margarine for dairy-free.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness; brown sugar can be used for a caramel-like flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Act as a binder; for egg-free, try flax eggs.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ensures a rich, moist texture; can swap for non-dairy milk.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor profile; omit if necessary.

  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Essential for rise; no direct substitutes.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Enhances browning and flavor; balances acidity.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Stir in whole milk and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just blended; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Brush the top with melted butter and coat generously with cinnamon sugar while still warm.
